Hello,
I’ve been having an issue with several datasets that generate points at extreme depths below the surface. I’ve tried many different options at varying levels, but I can’t seem to shake these points. As a consequence, the DEM is often completely red rather than the full spectrum, which makes it kinda pointless.
What do you suggest? If I turn on use-opensfm-dense it does help with removing the extreme point, however it’s at the cost of a very pitted DEM.
Or perhaps another way to put this: how can I chop off the 1% extremes, top and bottom?
After a while I started to record each option that I’d tested so far. Here are the individual options I’ve tried with various values without success:
mesh-remove-outliers
use-25dmesh
smvs-alpha
seam-leveling
DTM
resize-to - 1
dem-resolution
orthophoto-resolution:
dsm: truedepthmap-resolution
opensfm-depthmap-method: BRUTE_FORCE
texturing-data-term: area
texturing-outlier-removal-type: gauss_damping
opensfm-depthmap-min-patch-sd: 5
opensfm-depthmap-min-patch-sd: 0.5
Perhaps another solution would be to smooth out the opensfm-dense results. I’ve been trying options for that also but I just can’t seem to pull it off without melting the results. Has anyone else experienced this and found a happy medium?
Thanks for the reply. Are there any flags that I can pass ODM to adjust the PDAL parameters? I haven’t spotted any in the documentation.
Keep an eye on https://github.com/OpenDroneMap/ODM/pull/956. Nice additions in regard to this problem.
Is there a way that I can try that branch today?
Sure!
git clone https://github.com/pierotofy/OpenDroneMap
cd OpenDroneMap/
git checkout simplifydtm
docker build -t opendronemap/odm:simplifydtm .
docker run -ti -v [......] opendronemap/odm:simplifydtm
This new update works very well. Seriously guys, this is brilliant work.
